iLott Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Hi guys, just today put a deposit down on a 53 plate BlobEye. I have a couple of questions if anyone would be so kind to help me out. I'm not a fan of the standard key not to mention it's pretty scabby, has anyone replaced their key casing with a smarter one, maybe like a switchblade for example? Secondly, has anyone had any experience with removing wrap, there is a couple of bits wrapped in the car which need to come off pronto. Previous owner liked his carbon wrap... Thanks in advance guys. PS. I'm Dan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Hello & welcome can't speak for the key but I know what you mean deffo function over form, Which bits have been wrapped ? I'm the past when removing commercial vehicle wrap & sign writing a hair dryer and lots of patience and a few cups of tea have been order of the day followed by a cut and polish to get rid of residue and outlines left behind, Anyway feel free to get stuck in and have a nosey round Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brom Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Howdy Dan, Welcome, i'm a relative newbie also, I only joined a week ago my self. I know a guy who would probably sort you a replacement remote key, not sure about a 'switchblade' type, but I've used him to do a replacement remote key on my 2003 3.0 Outback 2 years ago. He also sorted a key card fob on a Renault (credit card size and pushes into the dash). Renault wanted £250, he came out to my daughters house, took 30 min to do the new fob, and charged £100 for 1 fob (£150) if I'd had 2. Let me know if you need his number, i think he's based around Leeds, but is mobile and goes all over the country anyway. Enjoy the Scoobie :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iLott Posted September 27, 2015 Author Share Posted September 27, 2015 Thanks guys, the top part on the spoiler has been wrapped (think it's an aftermarket STI type spoiler [possible fibreglass]) also when cutting it to size the person has cut it with a Stanley after wrapping and has scored a few marks in the top of it. Also the a pillars have been done and the grille insert. All need to come off because it just ain't my thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brom Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 I can understand why, not my thang either ;) , but veryone to their own thang I suppose. You've got lots of patience I take it lol? Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stants Posted September 27, 2015 Share Posted September 27, 2015 Good luck quite possibly the most tedious job ever ! A knife blade may be good to gently lift the corners off once warm, also for the bits where gravity can help out a spray bottle of soapy water could be good for helping too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
